What is the Game Manager?

The Game Manager should be considered (as it usually is what all Gaming Software) the “Central Hub” for all important configurations and settings of your Game Experience. Given that this module is designed for RTS, it has a strong RTS mechanics in it to “help” control this experience, your potential game players may experience.

This said, the Game Manager also affords the Game Developer abilities to control their games they are creating in scopes and genera’s exceeding beyond the RTS spectrum.

 

What options can you change or influence?
